We ARE informed that the petit
ton being circulated in regard to
the post-effice matter is being nu-
merously signed by leading Demo-
Gratis all over this part of the coun-
ty and by mostof the business men
of Mexico. We are not conversant
with many of the facts in regard to
the post-office muddle, but some
startling facts have been promised
us by prominent Democrat, whose
word, we presume, is as good as
that of the general manager" Of
the political affairs efthis district,
with whom he appears to differ.
We have no interest at all in the
matter except q desire that the new
postmaster will be the choice ol
the Democrats who get mail here,
and of Col. Hutton.

Our esteemed contemporary,
the Mexico Iptclligsncer, insinu- {
ates that D. R. Fraricis, Mayor of
st. Louis, in all probability win
not carry county il, the 7th Con-
gressional district ior Governor. s
There may be few admirers Of
Virgins left that will take such
prediction, which is utterly without
any foundation; into consideration,
but the majority ofthe masses pass
such by unnoticed. If our esteem-
ed friend will inst think for d mo
ment, he will remember that not
long ago he predicted that neither
Peers, Norton, nor Hutton would
be candidates for Congress. We
do not know where Isro. Cook got
his information, but We do know at
this sqate day. that both Peers and
Norton will be candidates, and a.
far as Col. Hutton is concerned,
we leave the editor t'f the lstelli-
seacer to speak for him. Fnrther,
we have not as yet been able to
learn who is the choice Of the
Democracy of Warren county for
Governor, but those who have seen
fit to express themsslves V, va,
among whom were some of the
most prominent Democrats Of this
county, favor Francis. In conclus-
ion we would suggest to Mayor
Francis not to become alarmed at
any of Bro. Cooks predictions, a.
this has been rather an off year for
false prophets, and YOU can rest
assured of carrying Warren county
for Governor; atleast we are willing
to wager IS hat on it.

VANDALIA, Mo-, Nov. 9.-This

Last night the residences of Rev.

VIM. Kurtz were entered. At Rev.
Mr.. Todd's the burglars were fright
ened away by the occupants before
securing any booty except treating
themselves to a square meal. At

unsuccessful. They took a pair of
pants out from under Mr.. Kurtz's
head and after rifiing the pockets of
a few cents left them in the yard.

The Hoodlum Element.

fTofu suU SotutAot6 oeAtcoiudu>
We, like our neighbor of the Her
aid, "agree with the Mexico Intel
ligencer in protesting against any
man being elevated to the COVER
norship through the corrupt meth
DDS, which so often prevail in st.
Louis politics, but we think the
Intelligencer goes too far when it
assumes that no man can carry st.
Louis who does not place himself
under obligations to the corrupt
element, which largely runs the
Democracy Of that city"
Such an element has proven q
power in times past, and yet has
realized its weakness to attain unto
its wonted ends. Of late the meth.
DDS of this class have availed moth.
ing, for wiser ones than these slum
rulers have gained audience with
that better class who are in the
majority and rapidly realizing the
necessity for greater vigilance.
The Herald adds:
We know of nothing in the career
of Mr.. Francis to justify the sus-
picion that he is in alliance with
this element, but he cannot be too
positive in impressing the people
of the state with the fact that he
has no connection with the hood
lums whatever.
That Mayor Francis has to prove
his innocense from the "hoodlum"
entanglements the average reader
has only torecall the recent Noonan
decision and its relations with the
Mayor. 1t will also be remem.
bered that few, if any the Demo
cratic candidates for Governor,
have ever been able to carry St
Louis solidly at the polls, but j
Mayor Francis enters the field it il
our candid belief that he will carry
that city despite the opposition o.
the hoodlum element.

JENNY LIND is dead, aged sixty
six years. The parents of the pres

long agomarried musician named

GO TO.

"What has become of the Sher-
man boom2" asks an esteemed
Blainiac contemporary.
Do not be prcmaturely exultant
over the collapse of the Sherman
boom, good friend and brother.
There are more ways to work a
Doom than to blow hot In the South
and cold in the North, or than to
turn the patronage of great Fed
eral Department to ones personal
use. There are even more ways to
skin a cat than taking a tour
through Europe, inclusive of Ire
land.
Go to thy exchanges, thou slug
gard, and be wise. Read them and
peradventure read twice this little
paragraph which thou shalt find
therein:
"At the Wayne County Fair, in
New York, John Sherman kissed
the prize twins in full view of eight
thousand people. /"
II there is any man, even among
the Biainiacs, who can contemplate
the solemn and stiff figure of the
towering Ohio Senator, who loves
to stand up to his full height and
pour out an awe-inspiring stream
of figures about how he made the
country prosperous under his adj
ministration of the Treasury, and
how everything is drifting to de-
struction now because he is no
longer at the helm--if there is any
man who can contemplate this
august parsonage tripping around
to country fairs and publicly kiss
ing the twin babies, and yet ask
nwhat has become Of the Sherman
BOOM he simply does not deserve
an answer.

"cRAay HORSE. !"
Col. Reddington Sued for Divorce.

KANSAS Cry, No.. Nov. e.
Mrs, Ardenia Reddington, who was
married in July, 1885, to David
Reddington, owner and proprietor
ofthe Odessa Herald, formerly of
Mexico, No., brought suit in the
Circuit court here to-day for di-
voree on the ground ofalleged adul-
terry with a woman of Odessa, and
of barbarous cruel treatment. The
petition charges, among other
things, that he attempted to poison
his wife in July or August, 1886.
The Kansas City Times says:
Mrs. Ardenia Reddington institu-
ted proceedings in the Circuit Court
yesterday for divorce against her
husband, David Reddington, editor
of the Odessa Herald, at Odessa,
Mo.
Ever since the moral atmosphere
at Odessa was stirred up by the sem
sational church trouble at that
place, it appears that rumors of GER
tain bad conduct ON the part of Mr..
David Reddington have been circu-
lated Mrs. Reddington states in her
petition for divorce that Mr.. Red
dington and a certain young lady
at Odessa, named Mary E. Davis,
have been unduly intimate.
This happened, too, just a few
months after Mrs. Reddington be-
came a bride, which was on July 4,
1885.
Shortly after the defendant, SO
she states, treated her cruelty and
barbarously, and attempted during
the month of August to terminate
his infelicitous matrimonial exper-
fence by poisoning her.
The plaintiff goes on to say that
with terrible insult, added to the in
juaies he had committed, Mr.. Red
dington invited women of bad re-
pute to her house and caressed
them in her presence.

Special dispatch to the Ledger.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Nov. H.-This
morning dawned bright and clear,
but terrible suspense that some
thing dreadful would occur before
the execution of the four Anarchists
took place, pervaded the entire
city, and the public, much tired
and waiting, breathed easier and
relief and rest came, now that the
worst is over and no outbreak or
demonstrations were made by the
friends of the doomed men. Sol
diers and police were everywhere,
and had such been the case the
mob would have soon been over
come.
Spies, Parsons, Fischer and Engel
were led from their cells at five
minutes past 10 O'Clock, and the
death warrant read by Sheriff Mat
son. The executioner and his as
sistants pinioned the felons, draw
ing their arms behind them and
securing them at the elbows. The
death procession formed with
Spies, Engel, Fisher and Parsons
in the order named, all outwardly
calm, but pale as death. The
executioner then pinioned the legs
of each man and retired behind the
screen. The black caps were then
drawn over their faces, the word
was given by the Sheriff, and ex-
actly at 11:54 the death-trap was
sprung, four souls were launched
into eternity and the majesty of the
law vindicated.
No one was allowed to witness
the execution but the eoroner's Jury,
officers of the law and newspaper
reporters and correspondents, who
were given permission to enter the
corridor where the scaffold was
erected. There is no disorder in
the city at this hour, but a vigilant
watch is kept upon every street
and corner for fear of an outbreak
Mrs. Parsons created scene
while the execution was taking
place, but was promptly arrested
and conveyed to the station, strug
Cling and shrieking. The arrest
was made to prevent a crowd gath
ering and perhaps starting riot.
Michael Schwab and Samue
Fielden were not hanged, the Gov
ernor having committed their sen
1 tences to Imprisonment for life.
| Albert R. Parsons, Adolph Fisch'
er, George Engel and Louis Ling|
emphatically declared they woult
not accept a Communication of sen
tence, while Samuel Fielden
Michael Schwab and August Spie
united in a petition for executive
clemency. The two former wer,
thought by Gov. Oglesby to be Fl
and proper subjects for executive
clemency, hence the Communication
| of their sentences.

THE DECISION.

On the goth day of August, 1886,
in the Cook County Criminal Court,
August Spies, Albert R. Parsons,
Samuel Fielden, Michael Schwab,
fAdolph Fischer, George Engel and
Lonis Lingg were found guilty by
the verdict of the jury, and after
wards sentenced to be hanged, for
the murder of Matthias J. Degan.
An appeal was taken from such
finding and sentence to the Supreme
Court of the State. That court,
upon a final hearing, and after
mature deliberation, unanimously
affirmed the judgment of the court
below. The case then came before
the Governor for consideration,
fwho late yesterday afternoon COM
muted the sentences of Samuel
Fielden and Michael Schwab to
life Imprisonment; but refusing to
| interfere with the sentences of the
court asito the other defendants.
SUICIDE OF LINGG.
| AS te1egraphed the LEDGER late
yesterday evening, Louis Lingg,
the young bomb maker, committed
suicide in his cell, dying a few
minutes before 3 o'clock. It was a
horrible death. The tiger of the
treds placed a Eliminating cap be-
tween his teeth, and then bracing
himself in the center of his cell APP
piled the fame of a candle to the
iexplosive. A terrific explosion
roared through the great stone
building. The great doors shook
as though disturbed by an earth
quake, and a cloud of white, pun
lgent smoke filled the corridors.
A scene of wild confusion followed.
With pale faces tho death-watch-
ers hurried to the spot where
! the flash had been seen. Above
4 them were hundred miserable
